council

council is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from boshu2/agentops. It costs 47 tokens per session (1,727 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A method for collecting independent judgments about a high-stakes or disputed decision. A council here means several reviewers assessing the same question separately before their evidence is combined.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for irreversible, high-impact, or genuinely contested decisions that need independent reviews and a documented report.
Why use it?
It reduces the risk that one reviewer misses important evidence or that agreement is mistaken for proof.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

council scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Council

Council is an optional judgment strategy, not a lifecycle or delivery gate. Use it when one fresh validator is insufficient for a named irreversible, high-blast-radius, or genuinely contested decision. Do not convene a council for a routine or reversible decision that a single fresh validator can settle: the cost of independent contexts is warranted only by a named one-way door.

  1. Freeze one question, acceptance surface, evidence set, and subject digest.
  2. Give each judge an independent context and the same bounded packet.
  3. Require each judge to cite evidence, disclose omissions, and return its own judgment without seeing other answers first.
  4. Synthesize agreement and disagreement without majority laundering. Preserve minority evidence and unresolved assumptions.
  5. Write council-report.v1 and return it to the caller.

Methodology-weighted agreement

Agreement across differing evidence methodologies counts more than agreement within one. Record each judge's evidence methodology (for example: static reading, executing the subject, tracing history) alongside its judgment. A consensus claim must name at least two distinct methodologies among its supporting judges; otherwise report it as single-method agreement and weight it as one confirmation, however many judges share it. The named failure mode is echo consensus: unanimous judgment produced from identical inputs by one shared method, laundered as independent confirmation.

Model-diversity axis

When the caller pins judges to model profiles, record each judge's model_identity beside its methodology and context ID (see the agent-native model-dispatch recipe). Cross-model agreement is an additional diversity axis: single-model unanimity is weighted as one confirmation with the same anti-echo-consensus rationale, regardless of how many judges share that model. If a requested profile has no live adapter, disclose diversity_unsatisfied on the report and continue single-model — never silently, never via claude -p.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

council is a skill published in the GitHub repository boshu2/agentops (433 stars, last pushed today), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 1,727 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
